I didn't realize that you could actually put the FS directly on the drive without partitioning it first, but it makes sense. Are there any known problems with such a setup? As far as I know, most people always partition their drives, so I don't know how often this is done..

See: > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2006-October/002312.h > tml That appears to be quite a nice bonus. Better performance with less work ;-)
